Some context: due to the failure of my previous battery being unable to report its battery life accurately and hold a charge I purchased a new battery about a month ago. It's been working fine until recently where the steam deck is unable to accurately report the estimated charging time and for some reason it thinks that it's not charging.

I say "thinks" because if I have it on sleep mode and leave it to charge after a while it will go full But while it's awake it is unable to charge until like 20 minutes or so when it finally goes back to normal and starts charging with a realistic estimate. But the issue re appears seemingly randomly.

I've tried going into battery storage mode, reseating the battery plug and draining it But no matter what I do this weird bug causes it to be unable to charge.

I was told that it could be due to overheating but I'm not sure. Really feels like my steam deck is just falling apart from the seams... First it was the battery, then the thumbstick grips literally falling off so I had to glue them.. now the charging itself is borked.
